Because if it hasn't.....it's overdue.

If you are unbolting the inner fener to get at hose connections...you are halfways there already...

Boy, I have been here too many times, my 77, 78 and 79 all had AC and all ended up needing a core. Back then I put the subframe up on jack stands, PS tire and wheel off to get started, got a cushion for the long seat time,trouble ligts, air ratchet, empty butter dish for bolts, got that nut off the firewall, and some help inside when the time was right.
On that solenoid, The wire should be there somewhere, my 79 was a 4 speed and had the solenoid. Is the AC working in this car?

Man, I was afraid someone would bring up the heater core. I don't need any help in the mission creep area. I mean I had possession of the car for half a day, did 3 or 4 burn outs, and promptly rendered it undriveable. Every time I get a car my wife says "I thought this car was in great shape and didn't need any work". Sound familiar?

On the idle stop, the A/C works - or it did for about 12 hours. Hah... I've looked under the hood and cannot see any loose, random wires. I've got unattached vacuum hoses everywhere, but no wires. Hopefully my manuals will come soon. If anyone has a picture of an idle stop and the wiring let me know please.

I had to replace the one on my 79, 43,000 mile Formula, plan on replacing yours.
